At this time, the cavalry of Liangshanbo heard the news, and surrounded the soldiers of Dongchang Mansion all over the mountains, and the shouts of surrendering guns and not killing came and went, and the sound frightened the soldiers of Dongchang Mansion. Zhang Qing shouted helplessly: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Liangshan Bo is a good man, I will believe you for the time being today, soldiers, disarm!" ”

"Those who know the times are Junjie, and General Zhang's choice is correct!"

A man dressed as a scribe rode on a horse and arched his hand: "In Xialiang Mountain, Wu Yong, under the order of Brother Song, I am here to welcome General Zhang Qing!" ”

"Greetings? Such a big welcome scene, I Zhang Qingshi is unbearable! ”

Zhang Qing smiled bitterly: "Let these soldiers have a way to live, if they want to kill or cut, I Zhang Qing admit it!" ”

Wu Yong smiled and said, "General Zhang has misunderstood!" Brother Song cherishes the general's bravery and hopes that the general will go up the mountain to gather righteousness, so I made this decision to meet the general. ”

Zhang Qingdao: "The husband has done something and has not done, you slaughter the city and kill innocents indiscriminately, how can I gather with the demon king!" ”

Wu Yong and the rest of the leaders of Liangshanbo laughed, and Zhang Qing, who was laughing, was confused. The red-haired ghost Liu Tang said: "Zhang Qing, you have been fooled, this is the strategy of the military advisor." Now the city is broken, but the people are unscathed, and all the refugees are dressed up as soldiers of Liangshanbo. ”

Zhang Qing was skeptical, pondered a little, and said: "If you want me to be obedient, there are two conditions, one is that I want to go to Dongchang Mansion to see in person, and the other is to let Song Jiang personally come to recruit me!" ”

Liu Tang said: "Zhang Qing, don't take an inch, the road is far away, and in wartime, how can Brother Song pull out!" ”

Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "No feather arrow is fast, I promise you!" Send a letter to Brother Song, and we will first accompany General Zhang Qing to Dongchang Mansion. ”

Cai Jing put down the secret letter, and was angry in his heart, what a good Uncle Zhang, he dared to kill the person I sent, see how I clean you up! But the current situation made him restless, Wang Yu was captured, Zhang Qing and Dong Ping defected, Zhang Shuye was recommended by him, what if His Majesty blamed him! There has to be a foolproof solution!

Cai Jing thought for a moment and then had a strategy, they were all grasshoppers on a rope, and no one wanted to jump. The strategy was Tong Guan's out, and the supervising army was recommended by Liang Shicheng, and the war was caused by the Liangshan Bo thieves attacking Gaotang Prefecture, and Gao Yu couldn't get out of it. Now the four of them must put aside their grievances, advance and retreat together, and fool the emperor.

Thinking of this, he shouted, "Someone! Quickly take my name and ask Gao Taiwei, Tong Shumi, and Liang Yinxiang to come to the house! ”

The sun rises in the east, the sun shines brightly, and the brilliant morning sun illuminates the earth, which looks vibrant.

Facing the rising sun, Song Jiang and Wu Yong led their troops to evacuate from Dongchang Mansion and quickly rushed to Liangshanbo. Zhang Qing led the troops of Dongchang Mansion to walk behind the army of Liangshanbo, Dong Ping rode a horse and accompanied Zhang Qing, and there was no word to talk to Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing casually accepted Dong Ping's words, but the book in his mind turned to a page of Dongchang Mansion, a picture that was very different from the original idea.

I thought that the bones were piled up, the houses were destroyed, the rich and prosperous city was ruined everywhere, and Dongchang Mansion had become a hell on earth. Who knew that when I entered Dongchangfu City, I couldn't see the shadow of the rumored massacre, and the Liangshanbo army did not commit any offense against the people, and all kinds of items needed were bought with money, and some soldiers also helped the people with household chores...... This is a bandit, dozens of times stronger than the Great Song army.

Of course, they did not let go of some of the treacherous eunuchs and the rich families who committed evil deeds in the city, and the most heinous ones were beheaded after the public trial in the downtown area, and all their family property was confiscated. Some of the accomplices who acted for the tiger deprived them of their property and sent them directly to the prison camps, so that all the unjust and righteous prisoners in the prison camps were released, so that all the prisoners in the prison deserved their crimes. And they distributed half of the confiscated money, grain, and rice to the common people, and the other half was pulled back to the cottage.

For the officials with bad deeds and the rich who were unkind to the rich, the Liangshanbo army was simply a monster, depriving them of the right to continue to oppress and exploit the people, and some even lost their lives.

For the common people, the Liangshanbo army is undoubtedly the savior, and it brought them the gospel by moving the stones that have been pressed on their heads for countless years and making them unable to breathe, and all the people have one thought: how good it is that the Liangshanbo army has been stationed in Dongchang Province!

Dang Ruichen, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture, is considered a clean official and continues to be his prefect. However, he also wondered, these bandits are very unprofessional, not to mention killing, and a copy of the looted property is also left for the people, are they devils or bodhisattvas?

Fortunately, he saved his life and official position, and some high-flying and domineering people were purged by Liangshanbo, and now they can do some practical things for the people in Dongchang Mansion. If it weren't for the stumbling blocks that harmed the people, it would be difficult to achieve their goal of doing practical things for the people. Grave

This ······ It's weird in my heart, it's so contradictory!

Zhang Qing remembered the first time he met Song Gongming. Song Jiang's hair was blown by the wind, his eyes were blurred, he and Dong Ping ran for a long time, and the servants of the wind and dust traveled from Dongping Mansion to Dongchang Mansion, the purpose was to meet one of his own requirements: to return to Liangshanbo, and Song Jiang personally came to invite him.

As soon as Song Jiang met, he arched his hand and said that he had admired the name of the feather arrow for a long time, and if he was willing to go up the mountain, he was willing to lead the horse and pedal to serve him.

Although it is face-saving, it is full of sincerity.

Zhang Qing was impressed by the actions of Liangshanbo's army and Song Jiang's sincerity, and he picked up his parents and led some sergeants who were willing to go up the mountain to follow Song Jiang to Liangshan.

As he walked, Zhang Qing suddenly thought of a question, he felt that Dong Ping should be clear, so he asked, "Why are there so many people in Liangshanbo?" Thousands of people who fought Dongchang Mansion and Dongping Mansion, thousands of people who ambushed us, counting the team that stayed behind in Shuizhai, I'm afraid there are forty or fifty thousand, right? ”

"Brother Zhang doesn't know, there are more than 10,000 people in Liangshanbo."

Dong Ping said with a spring breeze on his face: "When I came, I asked Brother Song, and he said that the cottage can now be said to be empty, and the infantry and cavalry are basically sent to attack the two provinces, and there are not many teams left in the village except for the navy. Now that the two provinces have been breached, the army quickly rushed to Liangshanbo to meet Zhang Shuye's next attack. ”

Zhang Qing's heart jumped violently when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "He is so bold, not afraid that Uncle Zhang will take the opportunity to attack the nest at night?" ”

Dong Ping said: "I also asked the same question at the time, how do you guess Brother Song answered?" He said that he was not bold, but that he had insight into all the circumstances of his opponent. The warships of the coalition forces had just been burned, and they were desperate to find the means to cross the river; Moreover, the coalition forces had been defeated and demoralized, and they did not have the courage to make an immediate decision to attack; Third, even if they take a desperate step and make a desperate bet, Liang Shanbo's naval army is enough to beat them to pieces. ”

"Know your opponent and know your friends, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles! No wonder Liang Shanbo wins every war, Brother Song is strategizing, and he is many times stronger than the generals who eat idle meals in the imperial court! ”

Zhang Qing sighed secretly in his heart, and he was also glad that the days of following Song Gongming in the future would be like this rising sun, full of hope.

Uncle Zhang is ready to break the cauldron and fight against the water, and he has no way out.

He originally had a way out, as long as he catered to the superiors and beat the ministers, everyone was happy, and the success of the bandits had little to do with the future, someone spoke for him, just hide it from Huizong.

But he didn't want to have a way out, he pretended to be the country and the people in his heart, and to fool the emperor was to betray the country and the people. He is not ashamed to conspire with those dirty and dark deals, nor does he disdain to be complicit in them. So he decisively did not save Qingzhou, killed Cai Jing's doorman, and offended Liang Shicheng's henchman Wang Gonggong.

The way back was blocked by him on his own initiative.

"The world is turbid and I am alone, everyone is drunk and I am sober", Qu Zi is unwilling to accept dirty things with an innocent body, and my Uncle Zhang will not go with the flow at night, so that noble thoughts will accumulate rotten dust!

Alas!

Tired!

Instead of making compromises in the deceitful officialdom and being controlled by others everywhere, it is better to contribute to the country, sacrifice oneself for benevolence, and leave a clear name in history.

There is no turning back from the bow, even if the Liangshanbo bandits are exterminated, they will be hated by Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and other powerful ministers, not to mention failure.

Now, on the one hand, Zhang Shuye asked Yao Zhongyou to collect ships through various channels and actively prepare for war; On the other hand, he ordered the coalition forces to take the initiative to challenge Liangshanbo, and pay attention to protecting each other and not being broken by the thieves. But Liangshan Bo Haojie is a tiger who does not come out of the hole, and waits for an opportunity to harass, and the morale of the coalition army is itching, but there is nothing to be done.

After a few days of stalemate, Zhang Bofen proposed to go to Liangshanbo to investigate the truth in the name of the following war letter, and he was willing to go there in person. All the generals praised his courage, Zhang Shuye immediately wrote a letter of war, Zhang Bofen found a sergeant who rowed for a while, and went to Liangshanbo alone.
